Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4; Romeo & Juliet under the leadership of Daniel Barenboim, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra execute this timeless work.

This CD features works by American composers that are, in the words of Clarinet Soloist Sharon Kam, 'classical, Jazz, and everything in between'. The Copland clarinet concerto, first performed by Kam in 1992 has become her signature piece, having performed it in concert as often as she has the Mozart Concerto. The 4 Gershwin songs were arranged especially for this recording by veteran arranger John Cameron. Kam is accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra on this recording.

American-born soprano Barbara Bonney provides the sparkle in this ebullient account of Mozart's gem of a cantata, Exsultate jubilate (K. 165). Harnoncourt and his charges do a lovely job with the orchestral pages of the setting, originally written to accompany the singing of the castrato Venanzio Rauzzini. Equally well done is the youthful C Minor Missa solemnis (K. 139), which in many ways looks forward to the great C Minor Mass (K. 427) and to the operas of Mozart's mature years in Vienna. -Ted Libbey
